14 The Journal of the Message from A. S. Attkins (Chief Sound Engineer, British International Pictures, Ltd.) Recording as a profession commenced in tliis country some five years ago, and has developed along very definite lines, but, unfortunately, each Studio has been responsible for its own progress. For a long time it has been felt that a Society of Studio Engineers and Technicians was needed in order that co-operation with other studios could be obtained. The engineering profession has always blazed the trail of co-operation, as instanced by the various Institutes of Electrical, Mechanical and Civil Engineers. Members of these institutions can fully appreciate the help and assistance given by this co-operation with other engineers. It has therefore always seemed a great pity that technicians of the Cinema Industry should work in isolated groups. I do feel that The Association of Cine-Technicians will meet this demand, and through its meetings and publication of this Journal, be the means not only of co-ordinating Association of Cine7'echnicians May, 1935 ideas, but of developing Studio Engineering along more definite lines, based on an interchange of the practice of the various studios. Such co-operation between technicians will eventually mean, I feel certain, that this country will lead the way in good solid Cinema Engineering technique. a PHOTOGRAPHY " SIXPENCE MONTHLY Special Cinematography Supplement dealing with the Art and Commerce of the Film Regular notes supphed by the Association of CineTt-chnians dealint; with activities ot the Association and comments on news of intctL-st to film technicians.
